A few days late...

But that's kind of how I roll.  Plus, the days from Ash Wednesday to the first Monday after don't really count.  My whole goal is to cook at home at least 5 times a week. Why?
1) Save money (everything they tell you about being a poor grad student is true)
2) Healthier food--better for my training
3) I can learn new recipes to bribe friends with and to attract men, not that that's a priority
I also am trying to follow my work out plan, all of it, not just the long runs.  Granted, I am in recovery mode for the next 2 weeks so work outs are pretty tame.  Then I have my race (yea Disney princess half!!).  And after that, recovery and training for Warrior Dash.  Look it up, it's awesome.
I have a few recipes in mind, trying to keep it simple but fresh.  So suggestions are welcome.
I know I'm not the best motivator when it comes to doing good things (my specialties involve mixing strong drinks that taste like there's no alcohol and encouraging wild and risky adventures, safely,) I'm hoping this blog can help some achieve any goal they may have.  Couch to 5K is an awesome one (you know who you are).  Or even working on other aspects of life not related to the physical body, it's what I'm here for.

To catch up on what I've done since Wednesday:
Haven't eaten out (yay!).  Went to a bar to play Bingo so had a couple drinks--it makes Bingo more fun.
I ran on Thursday for 35 minutes and stretched after.
Ran 4 miles on Saturday at a pace of 15 min/mile.  I usually run faster but it was a training run to stretch my legs out.  I have pics from my half-marathon on Sunday if anyone wants to see them.
